Maxpower Review

Decent road permitting yes it would upset me, I don't hassle cars on the motorway, that'd just be daft.

It's only cause I get about 26 mpg (enough for a whole week of commuting out of one tank) if I drive at 60 .. if I "play" duing the week .. I get about 20~22mpg and it means 4 days of driving not 5.

I NEED A SENSIBLE CAR (as well) !!

or should I invest in a new fuel tank? :(

[Yarisboy]

you should get a yaris bibbs, I get 47mpg from mine :P

[TheNissanMan]

somehow I just can't see bibbs in a yaris :D

[Yarisboy]

lol :)

[Bibbs]

Tints, 18's and slammed .. :D

I've driven Millways Yaris when my car is in for work. Good fun, just needs more poke.

I'm saving for my DeTomaso Pantera anyhow :D

Hey bibbs where in Reading do you live?

I live in Tilehurst and drive up and down Tilehurst highstreet to the A4->M4 twice a day on my commute run ..

My car is recognisable .. it's black, kitted, 17's and logo's down the doors. I'll keep an eye out for you .. I have seent he occasional white GT4 at Hal-frauds near MrT and always stopped to have a look (I love the ST205 and would buy a black on in a flash - if I could fine the right one)

Cmon, the Yaris aint that bad. Oh I see what you ment.

Yeah, I'd be after a 1985 GT5-S and to be honest, they are slower than a modded '2 turbo ..

But the thought of a mid-engined 5.7 V8

I live near Prospect Park.

Do you mean the Halfords on Oxford Road or the one near PC World?

It may have been me, was it a wrc? (huge rear wing etc?) Also my one has TRD logos on both sides.

This is for the moment anyway because this time next week i will have the full Castrol Graphics done.

Wont have a problem noticing me like this

[Bibbs]

The one by Mr T (Pc World, Hal-frauds).

And yeah, it had the big wing .. I love the Castrol stuff .. I'll be trying my keys in your lock when I see it :D

I'll dig out a pic of mine ..

[Bibbs]

Pic of mine

Front lenses are now black and front orange indicators will be black tomorrow afternoon.

[Leeky]

Wicked, i have seen you driving about before.

Is your's a turbo mr2?

Great logos you got down the side.

[Bibbs]

Is your's a turbo mr2?

Hell yeah !! Will be out driving it later ;) rooooar - ptsch

Just got the front indicators and the side ones off the car, and a can of tinting spray.

Got the film for the rears and found out I need to heat the film to curve round the car both horizontally AND vertically. And guess who doesn't have a hairdryer

[dog father]

why does my mk 2 gt not go untill 5,000 rpm is this the norm,

[dog father]

no

[stgeorge]

I'll admit that id love to show my car off im max power but those :censor: heads are only interested in crap like saxos and golfs.

Now come on how can you possibly put the Saxo and Golf in the same sentence......... I might be biaised having run a MK2 GTi for 6yrs but you really cannot compare the build quality, handling, reliability or DRIVER IQ of a Golf with that a Paxo :ffs: .

Sorry - just thought that was a bit harsh - nuff said

[Bibbs]

Why the fudge has this thread re-surfaced?

[DeusMR2]

LOL wtf is goin on???!

[EarL]

plus as jap cars are all ecu and electronics far too complicated for people with a mental age of 12

ROFL!!

[midmotorsteve]

mk3 is a great car, if i could afford one i'd sell my mk2 tomorrow, buy a mk3 and a HKS turbo kit and bet i'd never regret it :D

I had a mk1, fun car shows its age tho, very chuckable. I think the oradster is basically a mk1 for today.

What did maxpoo review them against, the only other good roadster on sale is the MX5 and i can't believe the retards like them. They also are a fantastic car mind, i just don't like the driving position, very uncomfortable.

[qwertyuiop]

Maxpower magazine is a joke, the only reason people buy that magazine is because they arn't old enough to buy porno mags, and subsequently arn't old enough to drive. There is no comparison between an MR2 roadster and any supermini/small hatch, i.e. nova, corsa etc. If you think for one second that any of these cars will stand any sort of chance in any department, then you are very much mistaken. Maxpower, isn't that the name Homer made up to try and make himself look cool.

[Bibbs]

There is three ways to do something ..

The right way

the wrong way

and the MAX POWER way ..

isn't that the same as the wrong way?

Yes, just quicker ..
